Description

Mountains, forests and Inca ruins on the road to Machu Picchu

The most famous trek in the Americas, the Inca Trail offers a unique and unrivalled combination of history and spectacular scenery. Winding its way from the powerful Urubamba River, across mountain passes and through cloud forests, the ancient Inca road passes several ruined fortresses before reaching the fabulous lost city of Machu Picchu. We use excellent local guides and skilled porters on the trek, as well as providing a couple of days in Cuzco, the magnificent Inca capital. Tour extensions to Lake Titicaca or the Amazon Rainforest are also available. Why travel to Peru with our preferred tour operator? We now offer the Moonstone Trek as a fantastic, more challenging and isolated trekking alternative to the Inca Trail route on this trip - and no permits are required! For more information please visit Moonstone Trek Option page. 'How did The Inca Trail do in our Battle of the Treks?
